LAMP.

I Application filed mama a1, 1923. Serial in. 828,997.

To all whom.- z't may concern:

Be it known that 1, Cinemas E. 'GODLEY, a citizen of the United States, and residing atDetroit, in the county of Wayne and State 5, of Michigan, have invented a new and ImprovedLamp, of which the following is a specification.

The particular object of this invention is to produce lamps which shall have minimum 1 height or longitudinal measurement for their In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 isa 20 side elevation of this improved lamp. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section of the reflector on the line 3-3 of Fig. 4. Fi 4' is a front elevation of the reflector and t c light bulb mounted therein find Fig. 5 is a detail view of the connector Similar reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views.

This lamp is built upof a lens ring, a lens, a reflector, a connector bar which positions the reflectorv relative to the lens, a packing ring and a spring.

The lens ring is a ribbon 1 of metal having a rib 2 at one edge to stiffen it and formed with a second rib 3 by grooving the other edge to receive the edge of the lens 4, this ribbon being bent to constitute a cylindex.

The ends of the ribbon 1 may be formed with tongues 5, each of which overlaps the opposite end of the ribbon. Buttons 6 may be secured to the ends of this ribbon and a spring 7 engages these buttons and resses them toward each other, therebycauslng the lens ring to grip the lens.

The en shaped reflector 9 is secured to the middlie portion of the transverse conhector bar 10 in any desired manner, rivets ll being shown. The ends 12 of the bar 10 i are bent at right angles and carry the screws which are adapted to slide in the bayonet slots 14 in the lens ring. In doing so they draw the lens ring toward the connector bar and the lens toward the flange 15 at the edge of the reflector, the packing ring 16 being interposed to secure a dust-proof joint between the reflector and lens.

The connector sleeve 18 is mounted in the reflector and is at such an angle that the filament of the bulb 19 is at one side of the focus of the reflector. This results in a diffused beam being projected at an angle to the axis of the reflector and the dimensions and directions of such beams can be varied as desired by those skilled in this art by changin this an 1e and location of the connector s eeve. T e lamp may be secured in position by means of screws passing through the holes 20 in the inclined portions 22 or? the connector bar and I prefer to cut away corners of the ends 12, as shown in Fig. 5:, to give easy access to these holes 20. After the bar 10 is in position, the lens ring can be attached thereto. n

The details and proportions of the several parts of this lamp may be all varied by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of my invention set forth in the following claims.

I claim 1. In a lamp, the combination of a bar, a cup-shaped reflector attached to the middle portion thereof, a lens to close the open end of the reflector, and a lensring attached at one end to the lens and at the other to the ends of the bar.

2. In a lamp, the combination of bar, a cup-sha ed reflector centrally attached to the mi dle portion of the bar, a lens to close the open end of the reflector, and a .lens ring attached to the lens and to the ends of said bar,said ring comprising a ribbon of metaland a spring to hold the ends thereof together, one edge of the ribbon being grooved to receive the edge of the lens.

3. In a lamp, the combination of bar, a cup-shaped reflector attached to the middle )ortion thereof, a connector tube and light ulb mounted in the reflector and so positioned that the illuminating portion of the filament of said bulb will be at one side of the'focal axis of the reflector, a lens to close the 0 en end of the reflector, and a lens ring attac ed to the lens and to the ends of the bar. 7

4. In a. lam the combination of a bar I having its en s turned at right angles, a

cup-shaped reflector attached to the middle portion of the bar, a lens to close the open end of the reflector, pins extending in opposite directions from the outer sides of said turned ends of the bar, and a cylindrical lens holder attnohed at one end to the lens and having bayonet slots 'formed in its opposite end to receive the pins on said bar.
